Iris taochia

This is flowering next to the Iris taochia pictured earlier and seems to be slightly different in colour or is it something else?

From what can be seen on the net, the last one looks a bit more like Iris taochia that the preceding one. But I'm not sure if any of the two are real I. taochia, above all if it comes from a seedex.

This one is from the SIGNA database Fermi, hope it might be helpful.

Thanks, David,
as it was grown from garden collected seed of a species originally collected in Turkey I guess it hybridised in the garden.
Still quite nice I think!

A few DBIs in the garden now:
DBI Lasagna
DBI Pastel Princess
DBI white (no label)
DBI Acid Test
unlabelled dusky purple - quite a different look to this one - I really must find the label!

The label for this one is blank!
I seem to remember planting some iris but not having a pencil to write a label at the time  and never got back to write it!
I think it might be the Iris reichenbachii which I grew from seed from Marcus Harvey sown 20-04-2013 (see reply #101 http://www.mgsforum.org/smf/index.php?topic=595.90
